Chicago police officer dies of COVID-19, department’s fifth known fatality tied to coronavirus

In September, the names of five officers were added Chicago’s Gold Star Families Memorial and Park, including four whose deaths were tied to COVID-19. Local FOP President John Catanzara, at podium, appeared at the dedication along with Mayor Lori Lightfoot, though the two have traded insults and lawsuits over the city’s vaccine mandate. (John J.
